"Maui Fever" Folks Surprised by Reaction

According to the Maui News, the cast and crew of MTV's "Maui Fever" are shocked by the negative local reactions to the show. Even some of the show's fans are posting comments on message boards calling locals reactionary and even "racist" against "anyone who is from the 'Mainland.'"

The local reactions may seem extreme to some, but after centuries of colonization and decades of offensive and negative portrayals in art, literature, mass media, and popular culture, can you blame 'em?
